Sea Levels Are Rapidly Rising Along
America's Coasts, Report Warns Investigation findings were released
by William & Mary’s Virginia
Institute of Marine Science. Researchers analyzed 32 tide-gauge
stations in the United States. Water accelerations were
counted in 25 of them, according
to emeritus professor John Boon. @VIMS_News, via Twitter John Boon, via statement The report adds that the gulf coast's
rise was double the global average. Year-over-year, the area saw an
increase of almost eight millimeters. Sea levels are rising around the world, but more in some spots than in others. Due to factors such as ocean currents, certain areas
have seen increases of about one foot in the last century.
